When the Chiefs offense struggles, the defense becomes the primary scoring threat. It’s a great asset to have a stingy and opportunistic defense.

But don’t expect the Chiefs to stay undefeated long, if they can’t score offensive TDs, especially to the team that entered Sunday as the 25th-ranked scoring defense that had allowed 26.6 points per game.

Looking ahead on the schedule, two games against Denver (7-1) within the next month will likely end an undefeated season.
